TABLE 3.
Results of the in-silico analyses in terms of area-weighted averaged wall shear stress computed for each branch of the model. For each branch, the channel (C) and the bifurcated vessel (B) are sequentially labeled, as shown in the graphic on the right hand side. The highest values are colored red, while the lowest are colored blue.
